Chatman suspended. Plus all the final cuts.

Jesse Chatman has been suspended four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. According to his agent, he tested positive for a diuretic in his system that can also be used as a masking agent, so he's forced to be suspended. Whatever the case, he's gone four games, and it's an explanation for the conflicting reports on his status.

Here is a list of all the moves, copied and pasted from Eric Boland's blog.

Injured Reserve:

S Cameron Worrell

Released:

LB Matt Chatham

DB Hank Poteat

Waived:

WR David Ball

OL Jacob Bender

WR Larry Brackins

DB Rudy Burgess

RB Jehuu Caulcrick

OL Stanley Daniels

OL Kyle DeVan

OL Nate Garner

DB James Ihedigbo

DL Thomas Johnson

DL Bryan Mattison

OL Matt McChesney

LB Blair Phillips

DL Ropati Pitoitua

TE Jason Pociask

WR Paul Raymond

LB Brandon Renkart

TE A.J. Schable


As far as my predictions went, since Chatman didn't make the final 53-man roster due to his suspension, there was an extra roster spot. I was wrong on Jason Pociask making the team. He was caught in a number's game, as the Jets liked Marcus Henry enough to make the team. I also didn't have Drew Coleman on the final roster.


However, if you think they are done, you're kidding yourself. Scout.com says the Jets put a claim on waived Saints guard Andy Allemann, but the Dolphins had a higher waiver priority. With just three runningbacks on the roster right now for the first four games, the Jets will probably make a move then.
